The document provides details about a proposed film titled "Murder" including a summary, cast, crew, and budget. It discusses choosing well-known British actors like Kaya Scodelario, Luke Pasqualino, and Daniel Kaluuya for the lead roles. The film has a budget of over £3 million and involves 8 weeks of filming. The target audience is teenagers aged 12-18, especially males, as the horror genre will appeal to them. The proposed release date is in August to coincide with school holidays.

1. Murder

2.  The title of my film is ‘Murder’, and it is based on a book called ‘The Children of London’ and has a
running time of 85 minutes.
 The film starts off with the group crowded around a television watching the last known broadcast that
was made before the virus swept the nation (the world, unknown to the characters). They then go to
their own family houses (all live in the same estate) and then afterwards they head to their local corner
shop for supplies.They come across a boy named the ‘messenger’ who informs them of a safe haven of
sorts being set up in Buckingham Palace, so the group start their journey towards it.
 In the middle of the film the group come across two small children, a brother and sister, hiding from
people trashing their home looking for valuables.The group beat up 3 of the men trashing the house
while the other manages to escape, and the brother and sister ask if they can come with them, to which
the group agree.They then come across a double decker bus, which they use to sleep in and travel closer
to Buckingham palace.The bus runs out of petrol and the group get off, only to be confronted with the
man that escaped, only with 10 more men armed with knives and bats.The group are then forced to put
down their makeshift weapons and are taken to a building overlooking Buckingham Palace.
 In the end of the film, the group manage to escape to Buckingham Palace thanks to the brother and
sister stealing a key from a sleeping guard.The group all manage to escape except for Luke, who gets
stabbed saving Ben.The film ends with the gates of the palace closing as the gang run away.

3.  My idea is original because while there have been films in the same genre as mine
(survival horror) that have similar elements, there have been none that involve an
all teenage/child cast, and there have been none that focus on younger people
directly.
 This helps make it into more of a UK film because of how synonymous UK horror
is with the survival genre (with films such as the 28 days/weeks later series) and it
features an almost all UK cast, along with the entire film being filmed inside the
UK.
 The unique selling point of my film is the fact that a horror film of this
size/budget, featuring an all star cast, is filmed entirely inside the UK, using a cast
from the UK and a director from the UK.

4.  I have chosen Kaya Scodelario to be in film because I
needed an actor that could play the role of a
reckless yet serious female that will do anything for
her friends.
 She has also been in other well known UK
programmes like Skins. Also, she has worked with
fellow actors Luke Pasqualino and Daniel Kaluuya
previously which will allow her to feel more
comfortable in her role while filming.

5.  I have chosen Luke Pasqualino to be in my film
because I think he would be good at playing a
typical ‘bad boy’ role in the film, whilst being able to
act serious at certain arts in the movie as well.
 He has also been in other well known UK
programmes like Skins. Also, he has worked with
fellow actors Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Kaluuya
previously which will allow him to feel more
comfortable in his role while filming.

6.  I have chosen Robert Sheehan to be in my
film because I think he would be good at
playing a funny, care free character that will
be the weak one of the group and try to run
instead of fight.
 He has also been in well known UK
programmes like Skins, and has worked with
fellow actors in the film Kaya Scodelario and
Luke Pasqualino, so will find it easier to work
with them.

7.  I have chosen Daniel Kaluuya to be in my film
as I want him to play a quiet character that is
a bodyguard of sorts for the group.
 He has been in all sorts of UK films and
programmes, including Skins, Johnny English
Reborn and DoctorWho.

8.  I have chosen BonnieWright to be in my film
because I think she can play the role of a
female that can be a ‘mother figure’ to the
younger characters in the film.
 She hasn’t been in any similar horror films,
but she has been in other popular UK films
such as Harry Potter.

9.  I have chosen BenWilby to be in my film
because I think he can play the role of a
distraught child well, and also do action
scenes well.
 He has been in Nativity, a UK film.

10.  I have chosen Bessie Cursons to be in my film
because I think she can play the role of Ben
Wilby’s sister in the film well, and will be a
fearless character in the film who looks after
her brother.
 She has also been in Nativity, a UK film.

18.  The release date for my film is planned for 15th
August.
 This date is extremely close to the school holidays,
which is important because my target audience will
have this holiday, meaning they will have the time
to come and see my film and will have the
disposable income to pay to see it in the cinemas.

24.  The total estimated figure for my film is £3,260,000
after taking into account all the equipment, actors etc.
needed for the film.

25.  My target audience is teenagers aged between 12 – 18.This is because
my film features lots of actors that appeal to this age range and will
make them want to see the film, plus they will each bring their own
individual fanbase to the film which will attract lots of people.
 The main gender I am aiming at is male, as the horror genre will appeal
mainly to them, and there are a lot of male actors that will attract them
to the film. However it is not aimed solely at males, as the film features a
good mix of both male and female actors.
 The socio economic grouping I am aiming at is group E because these
people will be teenagers, which is the age range my film is aiming at, and
these people will also have disposable incomes meaning they will be able
to afford to see the film.
